The Green Notebook in the Palmetto: How Two Survivors Vanished at Sea

A dry green spiral notebook was found four feet up in a dead palmetto after two days of rain, its single dated entry describing a burning boat and a desperate hold - but when and how did two experienced mariners get separated from every searcher looking for them? This episode centers on that open log, a corroded battery terminal, and the moment a delivery run turned into a fight for survival: what broke down so quickly, and what kept them alive long enough to vanish ashore?

In this episode, we follow the sequence of events recorded in the log and in witness statements to trace the Mira Luz passage from Brunswick to its final, fiery night, and we ask how mechanical failure, weather and routine decisions combined to create an impossible rescue puzzle.

Person: Shannon Chambers
Person: Paul Kettrick
Person: Jeff Orin
Date: September 2-9 (fire at 23:51 on September 2; notebook entry dated September 3)
Location: 63 nautical miles east-southeast of St. Simons Island

- The Mira Luz loaded 112 gallons of diesel at Brunswick City Dock the evening before departure.
- At 21:17 on September 2 the port engine died after hours of high-temperature alarms.
- Shannon recorded a manual position fix at 23:45 and the fire ignited at approximately 23:51.
- Roughly 100 gallons of diesel remained aboard when the port engine was silenced and diesel had pooled in the bilge.
- The EPIRB was deployed on its tether (driza) during the onboard fire response.
